Evergreen Shrub Root

Another pen from a piece of the root I dug up from my brothers garden.

Thats a lovely pen Paul it might be the photo or the 8 cans but it looks a bit raggid round the tip :rolling:

I never turned it in enough at the nib end George so you can see a bit of the end grain. It looks ok in the hand so I won't bother fixing it this time :thumbs:

Paul you will always remain close to a brother with trees I can tell have you surprised him with a pen from his garden yet?

Some good colour on that side of the pen mate.

Peter. :thumbs:

I haven't gave him a pen from it yet Peter but its his 60th this year so I intend to make him an Omega from it.

Nice pen Paul - How long do you let the root dry out before turning?

Paul · Mar 1, 2015

Ahh springs coming Paul is terrorising the neighbours shrubbery again. Amazing range of woods he finds and another nice one.
